PySend
FILE SHARING TOOL
PROJECT AIM: To easily share any type of file between one client and a server over WiFi with the primary condition that both should be connected to the same WiFi network.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In the software there are two programs. One is the Server which hosts the sharing and sends the file and the other is Client , which accepts files from server. This whole thing will be executed with GUI using Tkinter. We will use Command Line Arguments to mention IP and PORT on which the server is hosted. Errors will be Exception Handled to have a better experience. The user has to enter the name of file along with the extension and the same file will recieved by the client. SOCKET Programming will be used extensively to establish connection and send/recieve files. File Handling will be used to read ,write and save files.
CONCEPTS USED:
- Socket Programming -File Handling -Command Line Arguments -Tkinter GUI -Exception Handling
MODULES USED: -Socket -Os -Sys -Tkinter -Tkinter MessageBox
BASIC FEATURES: -A Function called getip() determines local IP address by pinging (requires active internet connection) so that user doesn’t have to worry about finding it and to avoid confusion between Local IP and Public IP. Here there will be an exception that if user is not connected to internet i.e if the user is on Hotspot type of network which doesn’t have connection but still has an IP address so that an exception will be raised asking for user to enter IP address manually.
-Server.py file will take port as a command line argument and Client.py will take Host’s IP and PORT as command line arguments.
-Can Send any type of file.
-User Friendly.
-Upto 1.5MBps transfer speed.
